Hyperbola-3 landing gear passes deployment and impact qualification
60 FOMOThe company completed a series of deployment and impact tests for the first-stage landing gear. Sixteen load cases were designed to reproduce demanding maritime recovery conditions. Testing assessed deployment reliability, impact loads, structural response and energy absorption. The validated hardware was scheduled to enter final assembly for the first orbital and sea-recovery flight vehicle.
Why it matters
The qualification reduces one of the key technical risks associated with sea-based booster recovery. Subsequent integrated landing-system and offshore testing will determine whether the design performs reliably under operational conditions.
